Thank you Nordic Holidays! Book your Silfra trip here! www.icelandontheweb.com/tour/...
We drove to Thingvellir National Park to a rift called Silfra which is a fissure between the North American and Eurasion tectonic plates. The water is nearly freezing, but we swam in it for an hour! Wearing drysuits for the first time was a fun experience and made the snorkel trip so much better. The water was unbelievably clear. This was definitely one of the best adventures we took in Iceland!!!

Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the travel bug! We started traveling full-time January 10, 2016. While daily vlogging was not the original plan, we were having way too many cool experiences not to share every single day! Now travel vlogging is our full-time gig and we feel like we have the greatest job in the world! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)
We’ve pulled inspiration from several of our favorite travel vloggers on KZread, such as: +CaseyNeistat +FunForLouis +Jon Olsson +Mr Ben Brown, and any other talented travel vloggers that KZread’s algorithm will hopefully connect us with ;)

    I have been showing this video to my 6th grade Social Studies classes today, as we have been learning about Plate Tectonics and Continental Drift. Kara and Nate, you now have about 90 new fans who are 11 years old! They absolutely loved it! I appreciate the fact that you made something that we are learning about in school come alive for them, in a very real way. Now I just have to figure out how to fundraise for a field trip from Indiana to Iceland...

    Charles Heimberg my school recently had a trip to Iceland, i didn’t go due to other reasons but there’s companies who specialize on school trips and help with the planning and everything. Should definitely look into it. Now I’m in high school so I’m not sure if they’d offer it to middle schoolers. I’m from Indiana too :)

This is an opened up fissure that that is still technically between the two plates, but these walls themselves are not them. The plates are about 7km apart from each other with this giant gorge in between. Nevertheless, it’s still amazingly beautiful and a very “cool” experience!! 😂❤️

    Snorkeling and wearing dry suits at such great place would be a great experience. I can’t imagine if I scuba dive between continents.

    well it's not exactly between two continents, I think it's just between two tectonic plates but it's all in iceland
